Limit it to marketing people and lawyers. !human == !murder, ergo no legal trouble.
You might get in trouble with peta, but the last time I checked they only concerned themselves with cute animals and didn't care much about invertebretes.
The end of the Universe is in Houston, Texas where there is a Starbucks directly across the street from another Starbucks (at least according to Lewis Black)
Isn't there a british company lauching a satellite next year that will give nearly everyone in the world access to wireless broadband? Or are they talking about the internet backbones?
A lot of people have mentioned the problems of which GUI these companies would write applications for. What if someone were to create wrapper around both KDE and Gnome GUI libraries that applications could use, and would detect which GUI was currently being used. That way, applications that these companies make could work no matter which GUI a user prefers.
Keep in mind that I don't use linux and am only somewhat familiar with appliction programming (I'm a web developer).
I probably should have said the W3C rather than the browser makers. That is if they havn't already made a feature that can do that and it simply hasn't been a need to implement it yet.
Is what DNS server you use determined entirely by your ISP? Or can a browser be set to look at a specific DNS? If it is the latter, couldn't the makers of browsers simply agree on a protocol to include the DNS in the URL itself? Something like http:US//www.whatever.com or http:UN//www.whatever.com. And that would become the standard way of making links (a default DNS would be set in the browser for old style links), so that if the internet does split, you can reach any domain name, regardless of whatever DNS it resides in, or in the case of two web sites with the same domain name on two different domain name servers.
That's the problem with trying to satirize religious fundementalists. No matter how insane you make them sound, there are real people out there who are just as bad or worse.
I have news for you, every country believes that it has god with it, and none of them can show any evidence that he is, or even that he exists.
Everyone needs science. First of all, without science you couldn't have even made that post. You want to live without science? Fine. Go live naked in a cave somewhere in constant fear that you will get eaten by something, and get food by foraging. Anything more than that is science. You want to grow food? Sorry, that's agriculture. You want to hunt for food? Unless you plan on using your bare hands, you will have to make some kind of weapon. Oops, that's science too. You're going to have to figure out what kind of weapon works best, and experiment with different ones and how to make them, aren't you?
Science is not just test tubes and particle accelerators. It is everywhere. It is in everything you do every day. You can't get away from it. Deal with it.
He isn't putting the blame on religious people in general. He's putting the blame on the religious right which actually makes up a very small minority of all religious people.

Anyone else think that Microsoft is trying to buy our love?

All someone has to do is provide a better explanation for irreducible complexity in biological systems.
No one has even proven the existance of irreducible complexity in biological systems.
By that time, your doctor will be able to synthesize anything he needs on the fly, right there in the office.
People aren't stupid and people who use computers learn new things all the time.
Heh heh. Ha Ha Ha HA HA HAAAAHAAAAHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Never trust anyone who shouts about "family values" but never says what those values actually are.
we can build a new copyright realm, where everything can be freely and legally quoted and remixed in any amount without negotiation
Anyone else think these guys are going to get thier asses handed to them?

They didn't mention Manifesto Games, the new startup established by Greg Costikyan, author of the Scratchware Manifesto
I don't see how Dell can possibly count for anything since they refuse to (or are contractually forbidden to) sell AMD processors.

Who need science when a country has god with it

This is quite possibly the greatest sentence I have ever read in an article
We'll always stand by gameplay: but it's graphics that will be handcuffing us to the bed during our next "business trip".
I did that a couple times. I couldn't get to sleep all night.
Believe it or not, it had nothing to do with all the electrodes attached to my head.
Does it really make sense to put the least comfortable beds in the entire hospital in the sleep study lab?
Will Google purify AOL, or will AOL corrupt Google?

Oh god! The vision! THE VISION! Get it out! Get it out of my head! AHHHRRGGHH!
Go ahead, burst my bubble.
As I was typing that, I was thinking that it might also be some kind of biolumenescent plant life.
